Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
Norwegian term or phrase: mothold
"Partene er enige om at XXXXXX er nærmeste mothold".

I understand the sense of the term, but I am at a loss for the exact English equivalent in the language of patents.

Explanation:
From Patentstyert:
Mothold = Nærliggende teknologi som er beskrevet i andre patentsøknader, patenter, tidsskrifter eller annen litteratur (gjelder hele verden) og som blir trukket fram som del av saksbehandlingen.

Et mothold brukes i vurderingen av om en søknad tilfredsstiller kravene til å få patent. Uttrykket ”anførte publikasjoner” brukes på samme måte som ”mothold”.
